Default TCI Ratcher shifter INSTALLED (W/custom ball)

Got this installed today, very easy install and it works perfectly. Thanks to the guys at AM for fast delivery. I didn't get to test it out on the road because i got a second flat in less than a month -__-. Any questions about the install, feel free to ask!

*Just noticed i spelled "Ratchet" wrong. Oopies Dosies!

Nice!
I picked up one of those couple weeks ago and it is still sitting on the counter after two failed attempts to get my Saleen jacked up to make the switch.
I first bought a set of ramps from Walmart and those didnt work.I went today and bought a low profile jack from walmart and still wont work.
I just found a jack that might work for my car at Harbor Freight today online.Gona go pick it up tomorrow and try it out.I cant wait to get this installed on my car.The install is easy but I just cant get my car high enough off the ground yet.
Also what jack points did you use?

I used a hydraulic jack on the normal jack point on the subframe, then found a sturdy spot to put a jack stand on each left and right under carriage. Of course i had to lay on my back but it wasn't difficult at all. The second clip is nearly impossible to see and thats the Beoch to get at.

Yep, that second clip is a mf'er. I went ahead and ordered a replacement before the install. I got frustrated with it and just snapped it off
So far, so good with mine. I will admit I don't use it much, but it gives the interior some needed pop and that stock shifter was fugly. Enjoy the upgrade!

I probably wont either as time goes on but defiantly an upgrade to a shifter that felt and handled like a plastic toy.

I have one and I love it, I just need to find a hurst style t-handle **** that I like. The TCI one is cool, but a leather/aluminum one would be awesome.

Drive up on some phone books then jack your car up. Go to sears. I got my jack and jackstands for a good price there and they work.
